    The differences between a Komastu pc300lc-8 and pc300lc-8 hd ?

    I am wondering what the differences are? thinking of trading my 2004 pc 220lc-7 with a progressive link thumb to a 2008 pc 300lc hd with JRB QC--NPK KIT also wanting to put a thumb on it. Any other things a guy should know about the 300hd like how big of a ditching bucket can it handle.
